Jaakko Paukku thank you

berbudy +1 social resilience!

I live for this comment

You're just an extremely negative person who doesn't want to do anything to help themselves.

It is not a trap

Hissssss!

Don’t you hiss me

+jLyf lol

+Hancheng Wu per hour ;)

Actually 19 mins to save you potentially 10 years. And you can show this to your kids.

I stopped at 1:30

@@steveg8612 How do I laugh harder?

same, i feel so warm inside

the reason for that is that you are an empatethic human being and you feelt joy watching all those in the audience smile and having a good time.

Me too

+Ivan Copeland stay strong dude. You'll get over her. One day at a time.

Thank u for the effort to reply.

But you gained the ability to gain more time.

Its kind of cute to call alpacas just "baby llamas" though xD

No llamas of any age were harmed in the making of this talk. Nor were those who mentioned llamas fired.

Exactly!

I know right we need a good high end game which employs all these basic principles, but also a good educational story, educational experience, just basically an entire art piece of a game designed to educate you, and teach you! Honestly one could fit in so much into a game its not even a joke heck if I made a game I could probably brainwash and hypnotise those who play it :p (probably)

exactly

Josh Bailey you were here to watch it anyways, so you didn't lose anything, you just gained 7 more minutes instead of zero.

NethiXx Thankyou, only person on youtube with a working sense of logic.

robert r Haha, I'm glad to know that you think so. But how can you possibly not adore Jane.. all her speeches are so thoughtful and interesting to listen to... I still don't get those people joking that they lost w/e amount of their time..

Josh Bailey some people just don't get it

berkeleybenje , Anything can be addicting, really. The people who say games are a waste of time. Undoubtedly, 90% have never given games a chance.

No, keep watching, it's really good.

Nick Lopez Nice

Mad bro?

But you gain time too. You get something out of it, so it's not wasting time. It's spending time. Investing it.

But you've still wasted time.

GDelva2003 By that logic you're wasting time sitting on a computer watching youtube videos.

GDelva2003 if you have a net gain then you have not wasted anything. Sure you have spent time but what you spent is less then what you gained so then you win.

Plus you not on only gain back time but also a higher quality of life. So even if (someone do the math 10 years-the time it takes) your net time is negative then you have an investment of time to quality of life

***** Not true, for example the Bropka tribe has been vegan for 5000 years so there you go. But really, the term "vegetarian" used to indicate vegans, up to the 1900s. The term vegan was only coined in 1944 after some vegetarians started eating eggs and milk. We had veganism for a loooooooooong time. We have records of veganism way before than the greeks, plus animal farming if I remember correctly is only 10k years old, while we have learned cooking 2 million years ago. So more than 99% of our story and evolution we were hunter/gatherers, but really the hunter part has been overexagerated to an incredible extent. We come from herbivorous apes and we've been herbivorous ourselves for a looooong time. If you want to be hyper precise you can say that those apes DID in fact eat around a 5% of insects on their diet, while the rest 95% was vegetables, nuts, etc. As all herbivores, we can digest meat (remember mad cow?), but we get artherosclerosis from it as we don't have cholesterol self-regulation as carnivores have. Also none of us have any hunting instinct whatsoever, and that's pretty immediate to notice.

Also forgot to quote the simplest example: Jainism. Look into those guys...

EpicBunty Veganism is what Vegetarianism was for centuries. Somebody started creating confusion in the first 1900s, so in 1944 they had to create a new word to say "we don't want to exploit animals in ANY way", to make it clearer.

Your data is very skewed, do you mind checking on it? Our actual ancestors are plant based and in fact herbivores just like we are. Btw herbivore does not mean you can ONLY digest plant matter, you can also tolerate meat (as, in fact, we feed FISH to our cows). Longest population is okinawans and they have been vegans for a long time, with some eating some fish. Now they are eating meat and others and their life expectancy is plummeting. I am not too sure about the traditional diet of sardinians. There are few centenarian vegetarians because there are few centenarians. There are centenarian smokers because there are millions of smokers. Does not prove smoking is healthy, no? Omega 3s come naturally from seeds and nuts. We do not actually know between the various types of Omega 3 what is best. But we do know that we get artheriosclerosis from meat, thing that only happens to herbivores eating meat. Because carnivores regulate their own colesterol. And we don't. We used meat to survive opportunistically but it harms us, always will. There is a vast scientific consensus that is coming up on the plant based diet, the more time passes the more we have evidence that is the best alternative. The info is already out there, but of course is contrasted by lots of propaganda (if meat is unhealthy and everyone knows it, who will we sell it too then? it's a problem of economics). We already know that red meat is between the most toxic things you could ingest, at this point undeniably carcinogenic in its processed form and almost surely carcinogenic as unprocessed. (give it a few years, they will declare that too). There aren't as many studies on poultry as fish but we know fish is so heavily laced with mercury there is no point in even doing that research at this point. Maybe it could have been healthy, doesn't matter, it's poisonous now. As for dairy there is nothing else on the market with more antibiotics and hormones in it. For the very nature of milk. It's milk. It has hormones. We also added extra hormones into the cow because money.

If everyone knew what the reasons to go vegan are and why they make sense, we'd already all be vegans. There are so many ways to look at it, and no downsides. You can go in it for your own economy (a WAYYYY cheaper diet, WAYYYY cheaper than the standard), for ecology, for ethics, for compassion, for your own health, even for peace. It is a lifestyle of NO VIOLENCE against anyone.
